English Language Arts

The mission of the English Language Arts Department is to support
effective literacy instruction in our schools and to ensure high
achievement for all students. To achieve these goals, the department has
developed and continues to implement: a comprehensive assessment system
with data collection, an effective, supplemental intervention program,
targeted professional development at both the district and the school
level and individual and cluster coaching in each school.

The English language Arts curriculum is aligned with the Common Core
State Standards and includes experiences using a wide-range of rich
literature and a variety of genres. This purposeful approach to
excellence in literacy learning fosters self-confidence, encourages
independence and enables our students to become life-long readers and
writers.
